Moving Cognos from Unix to Windows

[ghostraider]

All,

We currently have our Cognos 8.1 environment on two Unix AIX boxes. Our client has asked us to explore the possibility of moving to a Windows 2003 environment. Has anyone performed this task before? Please let me know the steps involved. Would it be as simple as taking a back up of the existing Cognos content store and installing the Cognos software on the windows box, followed by configuring with the existing preferences and pointing the environment to the backed up content store. Please let me know.

Thank You.

Yes, and while your at it I'd suggest moving to a supported version of Cognos. I would suggest 10.2, as 8.4.1 is end of support September 2013.
